Not really... DOF is only dependent on two things: - actual aperture - magnification ratio (which is dependent on focal length AND distance) This is why a 50mm lens has the same DOF, for a given f-stop, on a film or partial frame DSLR ... IF the subject appears to be the same portion of the image. Chris Brogden wrote: > How do you account for the fact that p&s digital cameras can > still blur the background for some portrait shots? Unfortunatelly this is not typical, to say the least... :-((( Gabor
